Default NO new supra/IS Convertible Delayed

Sorry guys, doesnt look like we will be seeing a Supra anytime soon.

-fixed the link-

http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/08/...ew-sc-in-2008/

Maybe they should create a sporty brand. $20,000 RWD droptop (Miata,Solstice) $30,000 RWD 2dr coupe (RX8,350z, Mustang) $45,000 Sport sedan (S4, M3)
Scion and Lexus have been big hits...a TRD brand would probably also do well.

this just seems dumb to me..the only sportscar in the toyota family is a 100,000 lexus?!? i dont think it will be taken seriously, more of an sl500 rather then a true sports car.

Hmm... gotta say i'm a little disappointed, but then again, i never really had too high of hopes of them bringing back the supra. That LF-A is hot, but its not something that the mass crowd can buy, sigh.

My family has owned 10 toyota products in the last 30 years, the most recent being my 2005 scion tC. I just recently sold it and jumped ship and bought a brand new 350Z, because Toyota is stupid and doesn't make any thing in the way of a sports car right now. They may be on their way to number one but they are sucking it up when it comes to sports cars. The closest thing they have to fill the gap is the X-runner and IS350... Where's the MR2 and Supra? Where's Toyota's answer to the 350Z, RX8, GTO, Mustang, and now the future Camaro. The tC doesn't count. Come on Toyota! Step up to the plate!
